VMware Delivers Multi-Cloud Container Management With Confidence

As containers become increasingly popular with businesses, there’s a kind of sinking dread that accompanies all that promise. How do you deploy them efficiently across the entire enterprise? How do you keep the applications secure?

Heavy questions require heavy hitters, which is why VMware has taken on some major partners in its latest initiative. Developed by VMware and Pivotal in collaboration with Google Cloud Platform™service, VMware Pivotal Container Service™ (PKS) elegantly addresses container concerns.

VMware PKS allows enterprises to deploy and operate production–grade container services, including Kubernetes (the “K” in “PKS”), on VMware vSphere®. It supports cluster deployment, features lifecycle management ever-updated to the latest Kubernetes, and security with VMware NSX® built-in.

Multitenancy. PKS allows for workload isolation and privacy in enterprise and cloud service provider environments.

Comprehensive solution. PKS is a fully integrated container solution that tackles compute, networking, storage, management, provisioning, and orchestration with ease of use for the customer in mind.

Streamlined operations. PKS offers cluster deployment and lifecycle management in addition to day one and day two support like monitoring, logging, real-time analytics, and event correlation.

What PKS DeliversAt its core, PKS gives the confidence to manage and deploy containers across private and public clouds, with the support of VMware, Pivotal, and Google Cloud built-in. It helps enterprises realize value faster by bringing innovation into their operations faster. And by supporting the latest Kubernetes, it increases developer productivity by allowing them to focus on building applications with all the right resources at their fingertips.
